SALES TERMS AND CONDITIONS

All sales will be subject to a 25% commission to be used to sponsor beneficiaries identified by the Rotary Club of Chelsea.
Your Bank details must be provided so that the art show committee can make direct deposits into your bank account when works are sold or prizes awarded. Cheques will no longer be provided.

COURIERS, DELIVERY AND COLLECTION

Exhibitors shall be responsible for delivery and return of entries.
Collection of unsold works is on Monday the 9th June from 2.30-5.00pm.
As there are no storage facilities for unsold paintings a late pick-up fee of $20 will apply for any painting uncollected on the day. Unclaimed paintings left over 30 days will be donated to charity.
If the exhibitor organises someone else to collect unsold exhibits, the authority should be in writing to the Rotary Club of Chelsea Art Show and signed by the exhibitor.
Due to the retirement of the existing courier company, we are not aware of any specialist art couriers in our area - we are continuing to look for alternatives.
Please note that all courier costs are to be borne by the artist.
